Loving Mom 154

Chapter 154

“That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day!” Nate burst out laughing, nearly tearing up. “You’re seriously trying to say she’s some hidden violin prodigy? What is this, a fantasy novel? Have you completely lost your mind?”

Wendy looked ready to explode. She stepped forward, about to go off, but Sharon held her back. “Let it go, Wendy. The performance is about to start. He’s not worth it.”

Wendy fumed. “That guy’s seriously messed up in the head.”

Sharon replied calmly, “Maybe he picked up something from someone close to him-a terminal case of stupidity clouding his judgment.”

Wendy immediately switched to a mock-scared expression. “Then I better keep my distance. What if he trips in front of me and blames me for it? Come on, Sharon, Matty, let’s go.”

She knew Sharon and Matty were about to perform. Starting a fight now would just throw them off-not worth it at all.

Xavier’s lips curled into a faint smirk. “Well, I’ll be going too. And hey, don’t forget to grab a pair of glasses on your way home- clearly, you’re in desperate need.”

As the group walked away, Nate scoffed, “Tch. What a joke.”

Kelly, watching Sharon’s figure retreat, suddenly frowned. “Carter… are you sure Sharon doesn’t know how to play the violin?”
